Extract

During the examination of numerous specimens of Bilharzia collected from domesticated and wild ruminants in this Territory a species of bloodfluke, closely related to the vector of intestinal bilharziasis in the Far East, was observed. For this species the name Bilharzia margrebowiei sp. nov. is designated in honour of my wife, Dr. Margaret Gregor Leroux (née Bowie), for the self sacrificing way in which she has assisted me in the past.
